TMS 2012: Student Activities
March 11-15, 2012 • Orlando, FL
TMS 2012 is a forum for encouraging the development of our materials science and engineering students as they progress toward their professional careers and find their place as future Society leaders committed to moving the materials world forward. To inspire our student attendees to achieve success, TMS 2012 features a number of events designed to captivate and educate young minds.

Undergraduate and graduate students will vie for cash prizes at the annual Student Poster Contest sponsored by the five technical divisions of TMS. Participants in this dynamic and interactive event compete for a $500 prize in each division for the best undergraduate and best graduate poster.
Plus an additional $500 will be presented for the best posters in the undergraduate and graduate divisions.

- Authors must register to attend the TMS 2012 Annual Meeting & Exhibition and be present to put up and take down the posters.
- Authors must be present during a scheduled "Exhibit Showing" (similar to a science fair) to answer questions and discuss their work.
- Each author may use up to a 45" x 45" space. If poster exceeds this space, it will be neither presented nor eligible for contest.
- Visual aids that could clarify the results of your own work are encouraged. Do not, however, post your paper text. Graphics should be simple, colorful, well labeled and clear.
